The 100G SFP-DD 2x 50G PAM4 to QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ AOC, 1m (3ft) is an active optical cable assembly with SFP-DD to QSFP28, carrying 100Gbps over OM3 at 850nm. Factory terminated and tested as a complete link, it offers a lighter and more flexible alternative to discrete transceivers with patch cords for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. The standard length range runs from 1m (3ft) to 30m (98ft).

Applications
In 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G SFP-DD 2x 50G PAM4 to QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ AOC, 1m (3ft) provides a factory terminated 100Gbps link between SFP-DD to QSFP28 ports. This unit is produced in 9 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 30m (98ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. Our factory programs the compatibility coding for your switch brand before shipment and verifies each unit on real host equipment.
Standards and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with SFP-DD & QSFP28 MSA, IEEE 802.3cd, RoHS6 (Lead-free). It plugs into any standards-based SFP-DD to QSFP28 port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.
Ordering Information
The factory part number is SDD-100G-QAO01. This cable is available in 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft) and 30m (98ft). Lengths outside the standard range are made to order in our factory. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.
Worldwide Delivery
We ship to customers around the world every week. Express couriers handle most orders door to door in a few days; larger consignments go by air or sea to keep freight costs down. Tracking information is provided for every shipment, and we are flexible on shipping accounts and forwarders.
Quality and Testing
Every unit we ship is tested in our own test bed on mainstream switch and transport platforms before packing. Our test center has been fully upgraded, which sets us apart from other third party product providers: 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G transceivers and direct attach cables are verified on the latest top brand equipment, including selected original switches that can hardly be found elsewhere.
How We Pack
Transceivers and cables are individually protected against static and dust, then consolidated into sturdy cartons suitable for international courier shipment. For larger orders we shrink-wrap and strap cartons onto pallets. Tell us your warehouse or retail requirements and we will pack accordingly.
Customization Service
Because we are the factory, customization is straightforward: non-standard lengths, different jacket materials, specific polarity or breakout wiring, and compatibility programming for particular switch brands are all routine work for us. Small trial orders are accepted so you can verify quality before scaling up.
